TOO BLIND TO SEE
SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TRYIN’ TO DO THE RIGHT THING
THIS SEA OF LOVE JUST KEEPS PULLING ME IN
EVERYDAY A NEW TEMPTATION
EVERYDAY AN INVITATION
TO BE LED ASTRAY, HEY
THERE’S SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS ME
AND SHE REALLY CARES
WHENEVER I’M SAD AND LONELY
WHENEVER I’M SINKING SLOWLY
THERE’S A LIGHT THAT’S ALWAYS SHINING
DOWN ON ME
BUT I’M TOO BLIND TO SEE
TOO BLIND TO SEE, TOO BLIND TO SEE
A LOST WEEKEND, NOW I’VE GONE AND DONE IT AGAIN
CAN’T STAND UP, I CAN’T REMEMBER MY NAME
WHAT’S A MAN SUPPOSED TO DO NOW
MY EYES ARE STUCK LIKE GLUE NOW
TIME TO WALK AWAY, HEY

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
THERE’S AN EMPTY BEACH IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT
YOU WAIT FOR ME ON THIS SUMMERS NIGHT
SO I RUN AS FAST, AS FAST AS I CAN
AND I KNOW WHERE YOU’LL BE
FROM YOUR FOOTPRINTS IN THE SUN
EVERY WOMAN AND EVERY MAN
NEEDS THE TOUCH OF A HUMAN HAND
EVER SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN
THERE’S BEEN FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
LOVERS WALKING HAND IN HAND
THE SUN SETS ON A DISTANT LAND
AND IN THE MORNING
THERE’S FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
THE SUMMER’S GONE AND I LEAVE TODAY
SO DRY YOUR TEARS WHILE I’M AWAY
AND UNTIL I’M BACK, JUST LIKE WE PLANNED
LOOK OUT EVERYDAY FOR MY FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
EVERY WOMAN AND EVERY MAN
NEEDS THE TOUCH OF A HUMAN HAND
EVER SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN
THERE’S BEEN FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
LOVERS WALKING HAND IN HAND
THE SUN SETS ON A DISTANT LAND
AND IN THE MORNING
THERE’S FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN'

NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’
PARDON ME WHILE I STIFLE A YAWN
BUT THE GREAT AND THE GOOD KEEP GETTING IT WRONG
NOW I KNOW THAT IGNORANCE IS BLISS
THESE IMBECILES PROVE THAT IT IS
NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’ ANYWAY, IT’S ALL A GAME
EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYTHING, OR SO THEY SAY
IF ONLY THEY’D JOIN THE DOTS
IF THEY COULD THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
BUT THEN NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’ ANYWAY
WHEN THE BOSS MAN SAYS HE’S HAD A BAD DAY
IT’S ALWAYS US THAT HAS TO PAY, YEAH
IT’S NEVER HIS FAULT, OR SO IT SEEMS
ANOTHER FINE MESS FOR US TO CLEAN, YEAH
NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’ ANYWAY, IT’S ALL A GAME
EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYTHING, OR SO THEY SAY
IF ONLY THEY’D JOIN THE DOTS
IF THEY COULD THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
BUT THEN NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’ ANYWAY
HOW DID THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM
TURN OUT TO BE SO DUMB
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE
THEY CRASHED AND BURNED
HERE WE GO AGAIN, WILL WE NEVER LEARN
NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’ ANYWAY, IT’S ALL A GAME
EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYTHING, OR SO THEY SAY
IF ONLY THEY’D JOIN THE DOTS
IF THEY COULD THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
BUT I KNOW, THEY’VE LOST THE PLOT
NO POINT IN SMALL TALK
IT’S ALL THE SAME RIGHT TO THE TOP
NOBODY SHOUTED STOP
CAUSE NO ONE KNOW NOTHIN’ ANYWAY

RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR STOCKS AND SHARES
AND YOUR PRECIOUS GOLD
DON’T NEED NO DIAMONDS OR PEARLS
WORKS OF ART JUST LEAVE ME COLD
SOME TREASURES NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
BUT YOU BROKE IN AND STOLE MY HEART AWAY
BABY I’M THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I’VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR FANCY CARS
AND THE HOUSE OF YOUR DREAMS
EVERYBODY HAS THEIR PRICE OF SO IT SEEMS
BABY I’M THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I DON’T NEED ANYTHING WHEN YOU’RE HERE BY MY SIDE
BABY I’M THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I’VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY
SOME PEOPLE HAVE MONEY TO BURN
BUT THAT WON’T KEEP THEM WARM
WHEN THEY’RE LONELY AND BLUE
I’LL NEVER BE POOR
CAUSE LOVE IS WORTH SO MUCH MORE
AND THAT’S ALL I WANT FROM YOU
BABY I’M THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I DON’T NEED ANYTHING WHEN YOU’RE HERE BY MY SIDE
BABY I’M THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I’VE GOT EVERYTHING, IVE GOT EVERYTHING
THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY

IS THIS ALL THERE IS?
SHE MARRIED HIM FOR LOVE
HE SHOWED A LITTLE KINDNESS
THE YEARS HAVE GONE BY
NOW SHE CRIES IN THE DARKNESS
HE’S OUT EVERY NIGHT
DOWN AT THE LOCAL
HE STUMBLES BACK HOME
NO WORDS ARE SPOKEN
LIVE AND LET LIVE
IS THIS ALL THERE IS? IS THIS ALL THERE IS?
LAST TIME HE BROUGHT HER OUT
SHE WORE A PRETTY DRESS
BUT HE COULDN’T KEEP HIS HANDS
OFF THE WAITRESS
HE SWEARS HE’S GONNA CHANGE
GET ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW
SHE’S HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
HE’LL SAY THE SAME THING TOMORROW
RELIVE AND RELIVE
IS THIS ALL THERE IS? IS THIS ALL THERE IS?
OH, SHE SIGHS
IT’S TOO LATE HER HANDS ARE TIED
THOSE DREAMS OF YESTERDAY
SHE WATCHED THEM FADE AWAY, (AWAY, AWAY. AWAY)
ESTO ES TODO LO QUE HAY? ESTO ES TODO LO QUE HAY?
TU VIVES Y TU MUERES
ESTO ES TODO LO QUE HAY?
HIS DRINKING GETS WORSE
SHE FEELS SO HELPLESS
SHE CAN’T TAKE MUCH MORE
OF THIS MADNESS
SHE KNEELS ON THE FLOOR
AND THOUGH IT REALLY PAINS HER
SHE PRAYS TO GOD THAT SOON HE’LL TAKE HER
FORGIVE AND FORGIVE
IS THIS ALL THERE IS? IS THIS ALL THERE IS?

BROKEN SKIES

BROKEN SKIES
WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME
THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE
THE SUN THAT GAVE US LIFE
WILL BURN THROUGH THESE BROKEN SKIES
WHAT CAN WE DO
IS IT TOO LATE FOR YOUR RESCUE?
SAY IT ISN’T TRUE
WE COULD SAVE YOU IF WE WANTED TO
WE CAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE
WHEN TOMORROW COMES WE’LL STAND ACCUSED
WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME
THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE
THE SUN THAT GAVE US LIFE
WILL BURN THROUGH THESE BROKEN SKIES
THERE’S NO EXCUSE
THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN NEVER UNDO
I PRAY THAT SOME DAY SOON
SEEDS OF DOUBT WILL GROW AND FOREVER BLOOM
WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME
THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE
THE SUN THAT GAVE US LIFE
WILL BURN THROUGH THESE BROKEN SKIES
WE GOTTA STAY COOL
STOP HAVING A MELTDOWN IN THESE SEAS OF BLUE
WE’RE RUNNIN’ OUT OF TIME
THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE
THE SUN THAT GAVE US LIFE
WILL BURN THROUGH THESE BROKEN SKIES
WHILE THE WORLD SLOWLY DIES
WHILE THE WORLD SLOWLY….. DIES

CAN’T LOVE NO ONE BUT YOU
BABY IT’S A LOST CAUSE
TRYING TO FORGET THE PAST
I’M DREAMING ‘BOUT THE WAS IT WAS
MEMORIES ARE ALL I HAVE
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
SO MANY TIMES I LET YOU DOWN
WHO’D HAVE THOUGHT IT WOULD END LIKE THIS
A GOODBYE NOTE SIGNED WITH A SINGLE KISS
I FEEL SO BLUE
MISSING YOU
WHEN ALL I REALLY WANT TO DO
IS HOLD YOU LIKE I USED TO DO
I CAN’T LOVE NO ONE BUT YOU
SOMEWHERE THERE’S AN EMPTY HOUSE
THAT WE USED TO SHARE
IT’S COLD AND THE LIGHTS ARE OFF
BUT YOU’LL ALWAYS FIND ME THERE
CAN’T LOVE NO ONE BUT YOU
BABY IT’S A LOST CAUSE
TRYING TO FORGET THE PAST
I’M DREAMING ‘BOUT THE WAS IT WAS
MEMORIES ARE ALL I HAVE
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
SO MANY TIMES I LET YOU DOWN
WHO’D HAVE THOUGHT IT WOULD END LIKE THIS
A GOODBYE NOTE SIGNED WITH A SINGLE KISS
I FEEL SO BLUE
MISSING YOU
WHEN ALL I REALLY WANT TO DO
IS HOLD YOU LIKE I USED TO DO
I CAN’T LOVE NO ONE BUT YOU
SOMEWHERE THERE’S AN EMPTY HOUSE
THAT WE USED TO SHARE
IT’S COLD AND THE LIGHTS ARE OFF
BUT YOU’LL ALWAYS FIND ME THERE

WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE
YOU DON’T KNOW ME NOW
AND YOU PROB’LY NEVER WILL
I COULD SAVE THE WORLD. BE HOME FOR TEA
BUT YOU’RE STILL NOT SATISFIED WITH ME
YOU DON’T SAY A WORD
AND YOU PROB’LY NEVER DID
WE’RE SIDE BY SIDE, YET MILES APART
THIS SILENCE IS WEIGHING DOWN MY HEART
THERE’S NO WAY THAT I CAN CARRY ON
BY PRETENDING TO BE STRONG
IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE
WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE
I CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE
THAT’S THE WAY IT IS ‘ROUND HERE
I MIGHT AS WELL BE INVISIBLE
I’D BE DEAD IF LOOKS COULD REALLY KILL
THERE’S NO WAY THAT I CAN CARRY ON
BY PRETENDING TO BE STRONG
IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE
WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE

THE WORST IS YET TO COME

THE WORST IS YET TO COME
LOOKS LIKE THE BOTTOM HAS FALLEN OUT
YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH
THIS AIN’T THE WAY IT USED TO BE
NOW EVERYBODY’S ON THEIR KNEES
THE END HAS JUST BEGUN
THE WORST IS YET TO COME
THERE’S NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN
THE WORST IS YET TO COME
THE PURSE STRINGS ARE TIGHT AGAIN
THE QUEUES JUST SEEM TO NEVER END
GREY SKIES ARE HERE TO STAY
NOW EVERYDAY’S A RAINY DAY
WILL WE EVER SEE THE SUN?
THE WORST IS YET TO COME
IT’S THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
THE WORST IS YET TO COME
THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE AIR
SOMETHING NOT QUITE RIGHT OUT THERE
THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN
IT’S NO USE TRYIN’ TO PRETEND
THE CHURCH BELL HAS JUST RUNG
THE WORST IS YET TO COME
SOMEONE’S CRYING FOR SOMEONE
THE WORST IS YET TO COME
THERE’S A NAME ON A STONE
THAT’S ALL WE’RE LEFT TO MOURN
NO GOODBYES AND NO ENBRACE
LYIN’ IN AN EARLY GRAVE

A NEW START
ALL I CAN OFFER YOU IS AN OLIVE BRANCH
BABE I’M PREPARED TO CRAWL IF THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT
I DONE YOU WRONG I KNOW, WON’T YOU GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE?
I SAID SOME THINGS
I DIDN’T MEAN
I DROVE US APART
I WANNA COME IN FROM THE DARK
AND MAKE A NEW START
ALL THOSE SLINGS AND ARROWS, I NEVER MEANT TO FIRE
ALL THOSE WORDS THAT RICOCHETED, WHEN I MADE YOU CRY
I’VE BEEN A FOOL I KNOW, CAN’T WE GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY?
I SAID SOME THINGS
I DIDN’T MEAN
I DROVE US APART
I WANNA COME IN FROM THE DARK
AND MAKE A NEW START
I’VE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT ME AND MY BIG MOUTH
I BIT THE HAND THAT HELD MY HEART
CAN YOU FORGIVE? CAN YOU FORGET?
AND SAY IT’S NOT THE END
I WON’T LET YOU DOWN AGAIN
I SAID SOME THINGS
I DIDN’T MEAN
I DROVE US APART
I WANNA COME IN FROM THE DARK
AND MAKE A NEW START

ONE HIT WONDER

ONE HIT WONDER
SHE’S GOT A HEART FULL OF DREAMS
SHE LIKES TO SHAKE THEM UP AND LET THEM FLY IN THE WIND
HE’S GOT A FACE SET IN STONE
ANGER IS ETCHED ON EVERYTHING HE’S EVER OWNED
HE’S A ONE HIT WONDER, SCREAMING BLUE MURDER
AS HE LANDS A PUNCH ON HER
SHE RUNS FOR COVER, A MAD DOG FOR A LOVER
HIS EYES ARE LIKE THUNDER AS HE STANDS ABOVE HER
HOW COME NOBODY TOLD HER
HE’S A ONE HIT WONDER
ONCE HE SWEPT HER OFF HER FEET
WITH ANIMAL CHARM AND TALK THAT WAS CHEAP
NOW SHE LIES THERE ON THE FLOOR
HE’S BOXING CLEVER, COMING BACK FOR MORE
HE’S A ONE HIT WONDER, SCREAMING BLUE MURDER
HIS HEART IS COLDER THAN A DEAD SOLDIER
LATER HE’LL PHONE HER, WANTIN’ TO HOLD HER
CONSOLE HER, CRY ON HER SHOULDER
HOW COME NOBODY TOLD HER
HE’S A ONE HIT WONDER
NOW EVERYDAY IS HIT AND MISS
SHE COUNTS TO TEN, THERE’S BLOOD ON HER LIPS
SHE FINALLY LEAVES, STARTS A NEW LIFE
MEETS SOMEONE ELSE AND BELIEVES ALL HIS LIES
HE’S A ONE HIT WONDER, SCREAMING BLUE MURDER
HIS HEART IS COLDER THAN A DEAD SOLDIER
LATER HE’LL PHONE HER, WANTIN’ TO HOLD HER
CONSOLE HER, CONTROL HER
HOW COME NOBODY TOLD HER
HE’S A ONE HIT WONDER
